Oops, sorry Astrodan. I did figure out how this Bittorrent thing works. But no way in hell am I opening up my laptop iTunes to P@P as it has people's demos and a ton of unreleased Elliott Smith on it!

you know, i had found an amazing photo on flickr.com. i contacted the photographer. gushed a bit about how perfect it would be for an album cover. and they gave me permission to use it as long as i give their name in the liner notes. i find that the stock sites (istockphoto, getty etc.) are just tha...

i love trash. that intro's lo-fi -ness is also part of the sample i used. it's the M-Tron mellotron tape samples. if you haven't heard them, they're just wonderful. besides the flute/cello stuff that everyone's heard, the mellotron had these full rhythm sections playing these great old-style backing...
